OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 WANTED FOR THE TOP TEN More people who appreciate this sort of music. Age NO barrier. American Graffiti Soundtrack Listing.
cyberjudge Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 That was my favorite movie when it came out. I used to play that album over and over.
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Cyber. I don't dislike this Ten really. Strangely enough, I like many R.E.M. songs, but that song didn't get a lot of AM airplay in Australia so I only vaguely know it. I wonder why 'Everybody Hurts' hasn't made it yet ? Another of my favorites of theirs is 'Orange Crush', but it may not be known in the U.S. ? WANTED ALSO: More 80s POP fans. I never could get 'Jessie's Girl' in.
TheLizard Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) I'd vote for "Everybody Hurts", easily. Saved my life. Well, really I'd vote for any REM song, but especially that one. Edited April 5, 2008 by Guest
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hi Tim. I just looked up the Archives. It was first nominated by Steel2Velvet in TT#36, and beaten on a countback for 10th placing ! I didn't vote for it - shame - but there were lots of other great songs nominated then that I liked. RON, how about nominating it again and Tim and I (at least) will vote for it.
Lucky Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 Darryl, early in this ten, when Shannon nominated R.E.M. I mentioned almost nominating a song by them. It was Orange Crush.
TheLizard Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 "Everybody Hurts" is on my list, I'll get to it eventually if nobody else does first.
OLD 55 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hi Lucky. Well ! That was in the days when I used to sit down with the kids Saturday mornings and watch every video clip from #50 (or was it 40) to #1 on the Australian equivalent of MTV, RAGE. 'Orange Crush' only made it to the Top 20, but it was in there for ages. A song that really grows on you. If you both want to, how about you and Steel (Ron)* organise it to nominate them on different weeks and they might both get in ! I'll certainly vote for both. * Or Tim. Our posts crossed.
skybluesky Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I'd vote for "Everybody Hurts", easily. Saved my life. The R.E.M. that saved my life is Losing My Religion, already in our Ten Oddly enough, Everybody Hurts is one of the few REM songs I would not vote for. Orange Crush is a big yes, and Darryl, I would vote for plenty of American Graffiti era songs, and absolutely Jessie's Girl by Aussie Rick "Dr. Noah Drake" Springfield.
edna Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I like many songs from "Amwrican Graffitti". "Everybody Hurts" makes me feel like cutting my veins though I like it... but it makes me feel uncomfortable.
TheLizard Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 It's supposed to make you feel like not cutting your veins...
Farin Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 how about waiting a few weeks before we get another R.E.M. song on #1? would be boring wouldn't it
Viaene Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 how about we vote a Belgian artist number one for a change, I'll nominate one
Farin Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 depends on who you have in mind... I probably won't vote for Helmut Lotti
Lea Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 REM has two three #1s Well, I'm wondering why my favorite REM didn't make #1 Losing my Religion? It's made the list but not #1
Farin Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 but eg "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor was simply more popular *shrugs shoulders*
Lea Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Well that would have benn a hard choice for me as well had I been voting but I think REM would have won out for me that time. Fire and Rain would have been right under it tho
bluesboy Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hey ! Wake up ! Did you even count my votes. Will this change the outcome of the ten ? Etta James deserves more respect than 0 votes. I gave her a number 1 vote... that means 10 NOT 0.
edna Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Well, I'm wondering why my favorite REM didn't make #1 Losing my Religion? It's made the list but not #1 Yes, it´s my fave REM song too...
The Seeker Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hey ! Wake up ! Did you even count my votes. Will this change the outcome of the ten ? Etta James deserves more respect than 0 votes. I gave her a number 1 vote... that means 10 NOT 0. You're right, I somehow overlooked your votes and didn't count them... I'm sorry. I'll do a recount now and post an updated Ten.
